Forget the word turkey, especially seeing as the entity known as turkey is a rather recent phenomenon artificially created and composed of barbarian invaders, mentioning them is bogus. turkey exists on Greek and Armenian land which was once part of the Roman Empire. Ergo, part of Europe. Is Cyprus part of Europe?

I despise some of Hitler`s ideas and also I admire others.So I bring forward a speech of him,in which he gives the absolute,in my opinion,definition of Europe.With this particular definition,I agree the most.Read the below and a lot of you will locate Armenia in his words...
But before this,a small comment about Cyprus.The location of the islands is defined by the continental shelf they belong to.Cyprus,even if it is closer to Asian shores,belongs to the European continental shelf.On a sidenote here Europe`s CS is huge and on the contrary,the Asian is almost inexistant in the Mediterranean sea.So beyond any doubt,Cyprus belongs to Europe geographically.
Now,back to the main subject...

The Reichstag speech of December 11, 1941

"...What is Europe, my deputies? There is no geographical definition of our continent, but only a racial [volkliche] and cultural one. The frontier of this continent is not the Ural mountains, but rather the line that divides the Western outlook on life from that of the East.

At one time, Europe was confined to the Greek isles, which had been reached by Nordic tribes, and where the flame first burned which slowly but steadily enlightened humanity. And when these Greeks fought against the invasion of the Persian conquerors, they did not just defend their own small homeland, which was Greece, but [also] that concept which is now Europe. And then [the spirit of Europe shifted from Hellas to Rome. Roman thought and Roman statecraft combined with Greek spirit and Greek culture. An empire was created, the importance and creative power of which has never been matched, much less surpassed, even to this day. And when the Roman legions defended Italy in three terrible wars against the attack of Carthage from Africa, and finally battled to victory, in this case as well Rome fought not just for herself, but [also] for the Greco- Roman world which then encompassed Europe.

The next invasion against the home soil of this new culture of humanity came from the wide expanses of the East. A horrific storm of cultureless hordes sprang from the center of Asia deep into the heart of the European continent, burning, ravaging and murdering as a true scourge of God. Roman and Germanic men fought together for the first time on the Catalaunian battle fields in a decisive conflict [451 A.D.] of tremendous importance for a culture which had begun with the Greeks, passed on to the Romans, and then encompassed the Germanic peoples.

Europe had matured. The Occident arose from Hellas and Rome, and for many centuries its defense was the task not only of the Romans, but above all of the Germanic peoples. What we call Europe is the geographic territory of the Occident, enlightened by Greek culture, inspired by the powerful heritage of the Roman empire, its territory enlarged by Germanic colonization. Whether it was the German emperors fighting back invasions from the East by the Unstrut or on the Lechfeld [near Augsburg, in 955], or others pushing back Africa from Spain over a period of many years, it was always a struggle of a developing Europe against a profoundly alien outside world.

My Deputies! Men of the German Reichstag!

I have to make these remarks because this struggle, which became obviously unavoidable in the early months of this year, and which the German Reich, above all, is called upon this time to lead, also greatly transcends the interests of our own people and nation. When the Greeks once stood against the Persians, they defended more than just Greece. When the Romans stood against the Carthaginians, they defended more than just Rome. When the Roman and Germanic peoples stood together against the Huns, they defended more than just the West. When German emperors stood against the Mongols they defended more than just Germany. And when Spanish heroes stood against Africa, they defended not just Spain, but all of Europe as well..."

Surprise surprise, no mention of Poland's role in protecting European civilization. If it wasn't for the Polish Commonwealth, western Europe would've become Islamified a LONG time ago -- and eastern Europe would be an Asiatic mess.

If Armenia were a part of Europe, then we should definitely accept Turkey (west of Armenia), Georgia (North of Armenia) Azerbaidjan (about the same geographical location than Armenia has) as European countries, and so on. But - these countries are not European, and never will become as such.

Actualy this is very smart speech (idea). But I could fill 3 divided meanings in it.
Lets check

This is cultural and racial description of Europe, from this point of view Europe much bigger than we thought could say it starts from west/east Azorean islands and ends in Vladivastok city far east of Russia, its a critical point where
European culture and Europoid rase exist(majority Russians), this is borderline dividing mongoloid rase and culture. from north to south its starts from Greenland stretches to south Caucasus, Armenia and Georgia are the last points of known western civilization, culture, white raise and Christianity,
after this line where islam and east starts with its strange and 180 degree reverse to Western culture understandings.

This is beginning of cultural Europe from early Greek empire,
Roman empire,Buzanthine empire with its huge influences to early and today’s Europe,
and its include all white people and countries, (plus early Middle East and Asia minor which destroyed by islam and semites)

This is perfect description of Western Europe only, lets not forget about Central and Eastern Europe with its huge mostly Slavic population, very reach Slavic culture and Orthodox Christianity,with its strong minded people against Asiatic muslim hordes.

...another meaning of Europe comes from the Greeks who referred to the lands of the north ( Northern Greece and beyond ) with Europe meaning "broad-faced" a combination of Greek words: eurys and ops.

Respect is due to the Greeks.

Europe is Greek for "wide eyed" or "broad eyed". Op - optic, ophthalmologist etc. I think Zeus transformed into a bull and ravaged Europa, the wide-eyed maiden, hence you got her riding a bull on the euro currency, no pun intended.
